Make me sweeter, make me kinder By the presence of the Spirit Make me smarter, make me wiser By obedience to God's word Help me live a holy life By the infilling of the Spirit Make me find my holy calling By the revelation of the Son Do for me, O Lord my God What the carnal man cannot do Teach me wisdom, give me grace Life in God abundant and free Find in me a seed of life Planted in my heart by you Through the hearing of the word And a fertile ground to grow Make me know your love for me By the shedding of your blood That washed away my sin And made me born again I am in, O Lord In the Spirit In the Son In the Word And I desire every promise That you have given To become my portion and my prize As I die to self and world and flesh And live in Christ alone Make me purer, make me finer By the trials of my faith And I shall surely come out whiter Than the color of the snow Do for me all you promised And for you I give my all! Amen |
